Something I worked on in the weekend. As if I need ANOTHER #dungeon project to keep me busy? #GameDevelopment
Well we will see, I have some ideas to make this different from a normal dungeon crawler loosely based on my #boardgames.
Rework on the #groundlayer (byebye green placeholder) + torch.
Finally getting around to promoting the #ContinueYourGame montly jam here on Mastodon!
Just started 6th jam:

- Chơi offline, tương thích Apple Watch
- Không dùng GPS, chỉ cần đếm bước
